More than 150 area and

visiting residents showed up

to protest corporate-political

collusion near the U.S. Bank

Plaza Saturday afternoon.

The event, called Occupy

Fargo-Moorhead, drew pro-

testers aging from early

youth to elderly.

Signs, such as protester

Nicholas Jones', whose read,

"Honk if your government is

corrupt," prompted passing

traffic to show their support,

though a small counter-

protest across the street gar-

nered some support of its

own.

Protesters began to gather

before noon, and by the peak

of the demonstration a col-

lection of unique voices

began to be heard.

Judd Hoff, a key organizer

in the Occupy Alexandria,

Minn. movement, came up

to Fargo to help with the

event.

"I came up here about two

weeks ago to one of the

Fargo-Moorhead Occupy

meetings and I found out

about the consensus process

that they're using, which im-

pressed me," Hoff said. "Be-

fore I came to the meeting, I

wasn't sure if this movement

would be able to hold to-

gether, but after the meeting

I was 100 percent sure that it

would."

The consensus process has

been pivotal since the move-

ment's beginning. The col-

lective identity as the "other

99 percent" has been the

driving force behind no lead-

ers emerging from within.

Cowboys and cowgirls sad-

dled up their horses for the

46th Annual Bison Stam-

pede Rodeo on Friday, Sat-

urday and Sunday at the

NDSU Equine Center. This

event was organized and

hosted by the NDSU Bison

Rodeo Team.

Over 240 students from

North Dakota, South

Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa,

Nebraska and Wisconsin

competed against one an-

other while donning their re-

spective school colors,

cowboy hats, Levi’s, and if

they were a girl: sparkly

rhinestone belts with match-

ing jewelry.

These cowboys and cow-

girls were seen winding

around barrels, tying up

goats, bucking on broncos,

wrestling steers, riding

horses bareback, roping

calves and bull riding.

The students competing at

this rodeo were among the

16 teams which make up the

Great Plains Region within

the National Intercollegiate

Rodeo Association (NIRA).

The NIRA consists of eleven

regions in the nation. Teams

within the Great Plains Re-

gion compete in 10 rodeos

per year, one of which is

hosted by NDSU.

The NDSU students com-

peting this weekend have

been tirelessly working and

practicing to prepare for this

year’s event.

“They are the most spec-

tacular, wonderful bunch of

students. They put hard

work in, really rodeo-driven,

motivated type of students…

and they’re at every practice

wanting to get better, want-

ing to learn,” Tate Eck,

NDSU Rodeo Team adviser

and coach, said. “It’s really

been a phenomenal group.

They’re there wanting to

compete and win, so it’s been

great.”

The NDSU Rodeo Team

currently stands fourth in

the men’s division and sixth

in the women’s division

within the Great Plains Re-

gion, according to Eck.

“We’re still a building pro-

gram, but we’re definitely

getting better,” Eck said.

“These rodeo kids are a little

more down-to-earth, and we

don’t mind if we get a little

manure on our pants.”

Preparing for the NDSU

Bison Stampede Rodeo is

done months in advance,

taking countless hours of

time and effort to ensure

that the event runs as

smoothly as possible.

“It took a lot to put to-

gether this event because we

had to get ads together, get

money raised, practicing,

getting the barn ready,”

Dena Flom, a junior major-

ing in agriculture education,

said. “We had to do a lot of

cleaning and the team was

awesome.”

For Flom, this year’s rodeo

is very different than last

year’s because not only is

she competing, but she is

also one of the managers for

NDSU’s team. Last year

Flom primarily acted as the

assistant manager for the

team, not taking part in the

competing end of things.

“A lot of the students put

in a lot of time and practice,

and when the rodeo time...

Members of Alpha Tau

Omega Fraternity at

NDSU adopted a fourth

grade class from Myhre

Elementary School in

Bismarck, North Dakota

as pen pals for the year.

With the help of Assis-

tant Director of Admis-

sions Justin Grams,

Assistant Director of

Service Learning and

Civic Engagement Matt

Skoy and Myhre Elemen-

tary School Counselor

Linda Anderson, 22 9-

and 10-year-olds took a

field trip to Fargo to meet

their pen pals at ATO

Fraternity and discover

the NDSU campus.

Tescha Walz, the class

teacher and Linda An-

derson escorted the kids

on the three-hour bus

ride from Bismarck to

Fargo on Wednesday,

Oct. 12. Upon arriving to

NDSU, the kids met up

with a handful of ATO

members and broke up

into groups to tour the

college campus.

The fourth graders

were given free NDSU T-

shirts before having

lunch at the R Dining

Center, touring a Weible

Hall dorm room and then

meeting with professors

in three different fields of

study.

In one session, the

young students went to

the engineering depart-

ment, where they built

catapults. In another ses-

sion, the group went to

the entomology depart-

ment and explored the

world of bugs with NDSU

research specialist Don

Carey. In the third ses-

sion, students met with

Dana Davis from the

pharmacy, nursing and

allied sciences depart-

ment, where they learned

about health related pro-

fessions through interac-

tive presentations and

even a puppet show.

Kyle Dillon, ATO mem-

ber and a sophomore ma-

joring in construction

engineering, said “The

excitement on the kids

faces was the best part of

the day; everything was

so new and big to them. I

never got to do anything

that cool when I was in

elementary school.”

After the campus tour,

Walz’s class of fourth

graders toured the Alpha

Tau Omega house and

got to ask ATO President

Ryan Anderson questions

about fraternity and

sorority life.

The pen pal program

began with the 2009

‘Hope for the future’ ini-

tiative. Linda Anderson

contacted Grams in the

NDSU Office of Admis-

sions showing interest in

developing the program

further in its second year.

Grams took a trip out

the Bismarck to meet

with Linda Anderson and

Tescha Walz’s fourth

grade class interested in

having pen pals.

“It’s great when we can

give back to the state of

North Dakota,” Grams

said as the kids played a

big game of duck, duck,

goose with their new pen

pals in front of the Ben-

son-Bunker Field House.

This is the second year

ATO has adopted a class

from Myhre Elementary

as pen pals.

“I think just having

someone younger who’s

looking forward to meet-

ing someone new and

making a new friend is a

cool experience,” ATO

member Jason Jorgenson

said. Jorgenson is a sen-

ior majoring in radiolog-

ical sciences, and this is

his second year having a

pen pal.

Jorgenson’s new pen

pal, Kiara, thoroughly

enjoyed the campus tour,

exclaiming that the bugs

were her favorite part.

Kiara expressed her in-

terest in working with

bugs in the future now

because of her trip to

NDSU.

“These kids have a

blast writing to us and

they have quite the imag-

inations,” Jorgenson

said. “Kiara’s first letter

to me was just awesome.”

Linda Anderson’s goal

for the campus visit was

for the fourth graders to

start learning about col-

lege life early on.

“Students can’t dream

about the future unless

they know what they’re

dreaming about,” Linda

Anderson said.

This fall, Professor Emeri-

tus Dale Herman of the

NDSU Department of Plant

Sciences introduced NDSU’s

first tree walking trail, lo-

cated on the south side of the

NDSU campus.

The trail includes nearly

60 trees, all located to the

south of Centennial Boule-

vard, and Herman hopes to

expand the trail to the north

side of Centennial Boule-

vard in the future as well.

Herman adopted the idea

from similar trails located in

Indiana at Purdue Univer-

sity. Nearly 10 years ago,

Herman conceived the idea

but last spring he started

working on making it a real-

ity.

The project was included

in the recent improvement

grant procured for campus

beautification. The grant

went toward the making of

over 800 brochures that will

lead people through the trail.

The trees on the trail in-

clude cultivated varieties

from all over the world, and

several are considered to be

unique in the State of North

Dakota. “Many of the newer

trees on campus are very,

very rare to North Dakota

and the surrounding area,”

Herman said.

Because of North Dakota’s

harsh weather conditions,

tree varieties are limited to

set hardness and the Plant

Science Department is con-

tinuing to experiment with

varieties that can survive the

weather.

Tree varieties also have in-

dividual diseases and natu-

ral predators that can infect

large populations of individ-

ual cultivated varieties.

Because of this, Herman

wants to promote tree diver-

sity on campus as a way to

ensure a long-lasting tradi-

tion of quality trees on cam-

pus. By describing specific

trees on campus, including

name, description and grow-

ing conditions, Herman

hopes to bring attention to

and encourage further di-

versification on campus.

“[The trail] is a real asset

to NDSU for students and

alumni particular students

in plant science,” Herman

said. He is hoping that the

trail can both be a learning

tool for students as well as a

way to promote and appreci-

ate the trees on our campus

that are essential to the envi-

ronment.

“With the climate we live

in … trees help us to appre-

ciate and promote aesthetic

and functional values of

trees on campus,” Herman

said.

Brochures for the walk are

available at both the Bison

Card office in the Memorial

Union and at the Customer

Service desk in the Wallman

Wellness Center.

On Friday, Oct. 14, the

NDSU Wallman Wellness

Center sponsored Biking for

Breast Cancer.

According to the Centers

for Disease Control and Pre-

vention, breast cancer is the

most common cancer among

women in the U.S., no mat-

ter their age or ethnicity.

Individuals formed teams

of as many as they would

like and then biked in rota-

tions for 12 hours nonstop.

Biking for Breast Cancer

began at 9:00 a.m. in the cy-

cling studio at the Wallman

Wellness Center and ended

at 9:00 p.m.

Each team raised money

before the event and all do-

nations will be given to sup-

port breast cancer research.

“My grandma had breast

cancer and it’s a great cause

and a good way to give back

to the community,” said

sophomore Rachael Masset.

The community aspect was

a common theme for many

of the participants.

Parminder Jathoul, a jun-

ior, said that she chose to

participate in the event “to

make people in the commu-

nity more aware.”

The exact number of peo-

ple that participated in Bik-

ing for Breast Cancer and

the exact amount of money

raised was not available at

the time of publication, how-

ever the numbers will be

printed at a later date.

According to the National

Breast Cancer Foundation

website, “Breast cancer is a

disease in which malignant

cells form in the tissues of

the breast. It is considered a

heterogeneous disease – dif-

fering by individual, age

group and even the kinds of

cells within the tumors

themselves.”

An estimated 200,000

women are diagnosed with

breast cancer each year,

40,000 of which will lose

their lives.

Breast cancer does not

only affect women, though.

Approximately 1,700 men

are diagnosed with breast

cancer each year, with 450 of

those dying because of it.

All of this information on

breast cancer, instructions

for self-examinations and

more can be found online at

The Center for Child De-

velopment (CCD) is to re-

main open after a committee

proposed short and long-

term recommendations to

President Dean L. Bresciani

and his cabinet.

The Ad Hoc Child Care

Futures Committee was

formed rapidly after Bres-

ciani announced the closing

of the childcare center last

spring in response to the

overwhelming feedback

from several groups.

People directly affected,

such as those with children

in the center, are one party

included in those resisting

the closing of the childcare

center.

Others include alumni of

the center, such as people in

the community who use the

center as a model for how to

do childcare and people

whose children attended the

CCD in the past.

Those concerned with the

message it sends also con-

tributed to the feedback. It

affects the positive climate of

NDSU by influencing faculty

recruitment, success and re-

tention of students.

Childcare is in high de-

mand, and the fulfillment is

not even close to reaching

those demands. NDSU pro-

vides a state-of-the-art cen-

ter, which is also used as a

model facility to other child-

care centers in surrounding

areas.

“The importance of the

center is true not just for

NDSU faculty, staff and stu-

dents, but the community as

a whole,” said chair and

dean of the College of Sci-

ence and Mathematics,

Kevin D. McCaul.

The CCD serves academic

functions as well, as faculty

members use it to aid in

teaching students in related

programs. It is also used for

research among faculty

members in infants and pre-

school children.

The committee formed

consisted of a small number

of people that could accom-

modate the nimble nature

and long meetings. The com-

mittee included Canan

Bilen-Green, Josh Noschee,

Karen Froelich, Kandra

Greenlee, Gary Liguori,

Wendy Reed and McCaul.

Members of the committee

spent six months conducting

research by interviewing

staff, faculty and adminis-

trators of the center, other

providers in the community

and even national child care

representatives.

“We got tons of feedback

from people not only on

campus, but off-campus,”

McCaul said. “People would

bring us articles, letters and

financial advice and infor-

mation.”

The committee obtained fi-

nancial advice and informa-

tion from Child Care

Resource and Referral and

graduate students in the Col-

lege of Business working

under Freolich, MBA Pro-

gram Coordinator, in order

to conclude their alterna-

tives.

The short-term recom-

mendations provided by the

committee include that the

university should cover 20

percent of the operating

costs based on budget esti-

mates and the vital academic

use of the center.

Additionally, the childcare

center will remain in its cur-

rent location in the Evelyn

Morrow Lebedeff Hall.

The administration center

will move out of the College

of Human Development and

Education Center and will

be relocated to the center in

human resources.

Last, the committee rec-

ommended that the director

of the CCD be charged with

full responsibility of the fi-

nancial health and operation

of the center.

The long-term recommen-

dation given by the commit-

tee was for the president to

appoint a task force to iden-

tify more permanent solu-

tions to supply for the

demand of childcare, such as

offering care for infants

through after-school care

and up to one hundred chil-

dren.

With these recommenda-

tions applied to the CCD, the

center can remain open and

continue to be a positive ad-

dition to NDSU and the F-M

community.

In celebration of Coming

Out Week Oct. 10 through

14, NDSU Campus Attrac-

tions sponsored Bebe Za-

hara Benet in “Divas of

Diversity” in the Lower

Level of the Memorial Union

at 7:30 p.m. Thursday.

Benet performed a drag

show, shared her story of re-

pression and acceptance and

answered questions regard-

ing her lifestyle.

As students and faculty

waited in anticipation, they

were greeted by sounds of

upbeat music in a warm,

comfortable environment.

Benet entered, accompanied

by Keri Hilson’s “Pretty Girl

Rock,” dancing, lip-syncing

and interacting with mem-

bers of the audience. Her vi-

brant personality became

contagious as attendees

began clapping to the beat.

Benet’s journey began in

the traditional culture of

Cameroon, Africa. She

found herself born and

raised as a boy who was in-

terested in things believed to

be just for women such as

hair, makeup and the fash-

ion industry.

She described herself as

being constantly “sur-

rounded by beautiful

women” who were unaware

of how incredible they were.

Benet is a strong believer

that “women underestimate

themselves a lot.”

Benet’s first drag experi-

ence occurred in Paris while

she was working as a male

model. One of the models

had dropped out, and she

stepped in for the missing

woman. Her first planned

performance in drag was on

stage with Cyndi Lauper.

She stated that she “created

her persona from that and

developed [her] alter ego.”

There was no support sys-

tem for drag or homosexual-

ity in Africa, but America

offered a lot of backing in

the drag scene and there was

always “somebody you can

talk to.”

Benet has become well

known for being crowned

the first season winner of

“Rupaul’s Drag Race” on

Logo Television. She speaks

and performs around the

country in colleges and at

red carpet events alike. Her

new single was also recently

released.

Benet admitted that for

her, dressing up is a “cre-

ative outlet,” but also a busi-

ness venture. She shared

“this is what I do for a living

… this is my purpose.” She

specified that the most re-

warding part of her job re-

mains, “I feel so comfortable

in my space … it’s liberat-

ing.”

Benet’s presentation pri-

marily focused on the under-

standing that “There is

always the opportunity to

embrace others and em-

brace diversity.” She af-

firmed that she had soul

searched a long time to ac-

cept herself. She says, “let

yourself be open to experi-

ence.” She has huge faith in

the quality of respecting an-

other person for being who-

ever they want to be.

Benet will continue to

share her background.

“When I finally stop telling

my story, I’ll be six feet

under,” Benet said.

Regina Ranney, diversity

program coordinator at

NDSU said, “The Equity

and Diversity Center was ex-

cited to help promote Divas

of Diversity. We expected the

event to draw a broad audi-

ence with different reasons

in choosing to attend. We

hoped that people who were

‘just curious’ would leave

with a positive message, and

I think Bebe Zahara Benet’s

story and performance pro-

vided that.”

Ranney also wants to in-

form students that, “The Eq-

uity and Diversity Center

invites you to attend Safe

Zone training, which pro-

vides education about sexual

orientation and gender iden-

tity.” For more information,

call 231-5728 or visit

www.ndsu.edu/safezone to

view upcoming sessions to

attend.

Jones, who was holding the

sign asking drivers to honk

if they thought their govern-

ment was corrupt, was there

because he wanted to ex-

press his personal view on

corruption.

"Everyone knows there's

corruption in the political

system, and I'm really tired

of watching politicians on

the Sunday talk shows ...

talking about corruption as

if it is abstract, as if it does-

n't happen. They talk about

it as if it's not right in front

of their face, and everyone

knows that it is."

Adam Wiese, who could be

seen holding a large red flag

throughout the demonstra-

tion, was there to expose the

injustices he perceives are a

result of financial influence.

"We have a very serious

problem in this country and

we have a huge amount of

absolute wealth, but the rel-

ative equality is nearly non-

existent," Wiese said.

Bryce Heustis, one of the

few counter-protesters at the

event, advocated that the

current system is just fine as

is.

Though engaged in de-

bates about healthcare and

bailouts and occasionally

heckled by protesters, he

and his friend had an unde-

niable presence throughout

the event.

"I was there as part of a

counter protest that repre-

sents the 53 percent move-

ment," Heustis said. "The

movement is promoting an

equal taxation rate for all

Americans. As of right now,

only 53 percent of Ameri-

cans pay taxes, and 47 per-

cent do not," Heustis said.

"The movement as of right

now consists of a bunch of

ill-informed citizens who

need to fully understand the

situation before they protest

it," Heustis said of the Oc-

cupy protesters.

Justin Vega, a major

player in the public relations

side of the Occupy Fargo-

Moorhead event, took ad-

vantage of the public forum

the event provided to debate

with the counter-protesters.

"What's awesome is you

see there are ... counter-pro-

testers here and it also gives

us the opportunity, as I just

did with Mr. Bryce Heustis

here, to comment, to talk, to

find out about the other side

of it ... you know, why people

aren't in support of the

movement," Vega said.

Unlike in other cities, the

Occupy Fargo-Moorhead

protest wasn't meant to be

ongoing. They gathered on

Saturday in observance of

the Global Day of Action.

Occupy continued from page 1

comes you can tell which stu-

dents have been practicing

and have been putting in the

time,” Flom said. “It shows

when they’re the ones sitting

on top.”

For those of you who have

never been to a rodeo before,

it is unlike any other sport at

NDSU.

“Rodeo is kind of a sport

that they took from the way

it used to be ‘back in the

west,’” Flom said. “Some of

these events are how they’d

get stuff done on the

ranch...It’s a way to put a

competitive edge on ranch

work.”

Competing in events like

rodeo not only requires indi-

vidual skills but also the

ability to harmoniously

work among animals.

“If your horse isn’t happy,

they obviously aren’t going

to perform as well as they

can. Usually the horses come

first when you do the

rodeos,” Flom said. “The

horses do play a big role in

how well people do, so it’s

the teamwork between the

rider and the horse.”

As for the competition, stu-

dents like Jared Odnes, a

senior majoring in animal

science at South Dakota

State University, shared

what it is like to be involved

in college rodeo: “Rodeo is

really fun, really team-ori-

ented and a really great

time.”

Odnes has been part of col-

lege rodeo the last two years

of his collegiate career, and

he mentioned that he has en-

joyed traveling to Fargo

both times to compete. “It’s

been really good. I [person-

ally] haven’t done very good

here so far, but it’s been a re-

ally good rodeo and ran very

smoothly.”

If you are feeling in need of

a hiatus to Europe, there is a

place at 317 Broadway in

downtown Fargo that may

very well suffice.

Nestled inside the store

O’Day Cache is the chic

boutique called Proper and

Prim, owned by 26-year-old

entrepreneur Teresa O’Day.

Even though Proper and

Prim is inside her mom’s

store, O’Day Cache, Teresa’s

boutique is not affiliated

with O’Day Cache whatso-

ever.

While this young entrepre-

neur was an undergraduate,

O’Day studied abroad in

Europe, which may have in-

spired the style of merchan-

dise you can find inside

Proper and Prim. Walking

into her store makes you feel

as though you are taking a

stroll through Paris.

“Teresa has very French-

inspired clothing,” said

Kyleigh Kruse, an employee

of Proper and Prim and best

friend of Teresa O’Day. “It’s

not a typical clothing store

… one of Teresa’s main goals

is to have things that are al-

ways very affordable with

very high style.”

Some items you can find at

Proper and Prim are ornate

necklaces and rings, funky

feather hair extensions, sleek

high heels, adorable flats,

trendy boots, one-of-a-kind

dresses and skirts, as well as

fleece-lined leggings.

“We have things you can

buy that are unique, fashion-

able, and trendy … without

spending a ton of money on

it,” O’Day said. “You can

come in here and buy a few

things for a hundred dollars

instead of buying one thing

for a hundred dollars.”


The decision to wear blush

or bronzer could be quite a

dilemma for many of us, but

knowing the difference be-

tween the two can make that

choice a bit easier. Here’s a

simple guide to get you on

the right track.

According to M.A.C cos-

metics Senior Artist Nicola

Burford, “bronzer is used to

create a suntanned effect on

the skin and blush is used to

create a flush of color on the

skin.”

Keep in mind that both

blush and bronzer can be

used interchangeably, but

the colors you choose to use

can change the effect you

are trying to make.

Keeping it natural

To have the most natural

effect, match the bronzer or

blush to the tones and pig-

ments in your skin.

For example, if your skin

leans toward the darker side

and has olive tones in it, a

subtle golden bronze would

do the trick. A warm peachy

bronzer or blush would

work for lighter skin tones.

To create the natural ef-

fect, use a large blush brush.

Using the brush, begin ap-

plying the product from

your hairline, and sweeping

it down your cheekbone and

over the apples of the

cheeks.

Then, swipe the remaining

product on the bridge of

your nose and forehead (also

known as your T-zone).

Cream versus matte

Most blush and bronzer

formulas come in either

cream or matte powder, but

knowing which type is best

suitable for your skin type

will work the best.

If your skin is prone to oil,

a matte blush or bronzer is

the way to go. The matte

formula keeps your skin

looking fresher longer and

will stay longer on your skin.

For skin on the dryer side,

creamier formulas will feel

better on the face and will

stay applied longer than

powder formulas.

When applying cream-

based formulas, use a flat,

synthetic brush, buffing

brush or your fingers to

make sure the product is ap-

plied evenly.

When applying dry for-

mulas use a soft, fluffy

brush and start at the apples

of your cheeks and blend

backward to your hairline.

Fixing a mistake

Blush and bronzer over

application can occur at any

time, but there is a solution

to fix the accidental mistake.

If you have over applied a

dry formula, grab a flesh

loose powder and blend it

over the blush or bronzer.

Doing this will cover the

mistake while evening out

the blush or bronzer. For a

cream formula, use a liquid

foundation.

To avoid over applying,

use smaller amounts of the

product and progress as you

go.

He Said: “I don’t believe it’s the amount of sleep I acquire butthe amount of effort I put into my studies.” Mark Tibbets, afreshman majoring in business administration.

Life as a college student can get pretty crazy. There are always assign-

ments to complete, tests to study for, a job to work at, a social life to have,

and sleep to get. When our schedules become too hectic, usually something

that seems less important gets bumped off the list. For a lot of college stu-

dents, sleep is that thing that gets bumped off the list.

According to stanford.edu, when you don’t get the required amount of

sleep -- which is eight hours minimum for a college student -- you “create a

sleep debt.” And you can only compensate for the sleep debt by going above

and beyond the required amount of sleep that you are supposed to get.

When you aren’t getting enough sleep, it can affect every part of your life.

Drowsiness from sleep deprivation is the main reason other parts of your

life change. When you feel drowsy, you aren’t taking in everything that you

could be. When you are drowsy in class instead of being attentive and ab-

sorbing more information, you are feeling sleepy and not learning every-

thing you could be.

Drowsiness doesn’t just affect academic work. If you’re driving while

drowsy you could fall asleep at the wheel, which could be fatal. Drowsiness

doesn’t help anyone, especially you. There are always reasons for why you

think you could skip out on sleep. Particularly, with the rise of energy

drinks and shots, sleep seems like a low item on the priority list. But getting

sleep affects all areas of life, so make sure that you are trying to get enough.

With my first column, Ihave a small confession: Ad-mittedly, we went prettybonkers over DC’s “New 52”series of comics last monthin A&E. After some inves-tigative work at ParadoxComics-N-Cards Saturdaymorning, which resulted inbuying my very first comicbook, I can tell you all theexcitement for the comicswas well grounded. This issomething you should, per-haps even need to careabout.

My desire to get into thenerdy fascination has indi-rect roots in film and videogames, beginning withChristopher Nolan’s genre-defining “Batman” films.After watching both “Bat-man Begins” and “The DarkKnight” numerous times, itwas clear I was missing outon a wealth of back-story.That thought intensifiedwhen I popped “Batman:Arkham Asylum” into myPlaystation 3 the summer of2010, with a boatload ofcharacters appearing with-out much introduction fornewbs like me.

Further considering I hadfound nothing better to dowhile training in Alabamathis summer than to swingdown from my top bunk,wake up my fellow cadet andutter, “Hey!... I’m the Bat-man,” I ought to know whatit’s all about. The taskthough, having never ven-tured into a comic book shopbefore, seemed dauntingenough.

Additionally, the means toget involved seemed impos-sible. How do I catch up ona chronology as old as mygrandparents, beginningwith the Caped Crusader’sfirst appearance in 1939?Low and behold, DC heardthis plight and rebootedtheir entire universe, offer-ing me a chance to jump inand finally be cool (Finally!).

I threw on my finest sweat-pants and journeyed toRoberts Street, giddy as ateenage schoolgirl with ahomecoming date. Nervousabout what lie ahead, Icaught my breath outsideand entered the sanctuary:To my right, a room full ofgeeks playing something Ididn’t understand; to myleft, oodles of comics embla-zoned with “The New 52.” Isnatched my bounty, “Bat-man” #1, and was assured atthe register that the series isbeing penned by one of thehottest writers currently.

It took just 15 minutes toget me hooked. Artist GregCapullo’s imagery is en-grossing and Scott Snyderemployed brilliant mecha-nisms to get beginners likeme up to speed. Better yet,they saw fit to tease readerswith a cliffhanger, one thatI’m going to follow up ontoday with the release of“Batman” #2.

At $3 an issue, the comicsare a steal and soon to be anobsession, one that coincidesperfectly with “Batman:Arkham City” hitting storestoday. If you’ve ever beencurious, give “The New 52”a shot because it’s worth theeffort.

It's October and we're

now well into this year's

gaming season. And by gam-

ing season, I mean the horri-

fying torrent of major new

releases that threatens to

consume our every waking

moment.

It appears that next month

will be the main offender. It

seems almost downright lu-

dicrous to release this many

expensive games in such a

short period. However, that

won't stop me from trying to

expend as much time (and

money) as I can in an at-

tempt to play through all of

these great games.

“Uncharted: Drake's De-

ception” (Playstation 3) –

Nov. 1

The latest and probably

greatest in the blockbuster

series.

“The Lord of the Rings:

War in the North (Multi-

Platform)” - Nov. 1

The first, seemingly

worthwhile "Lord of the

Rings" game in a long while.

“Call of Duty: Modern

Warfare 3” (Multi-Platform)

- Nov. 8

This game will probably

make more money than the

national deficit.

“Metal Gear Solid HD

Collection” (Multi-Plat-

form) - Nov. 8

Metal Gear in high defini-

tion? Yes, please.

“The Elder Scrolls V:

Skyrim” (Multi-Platform) -

Nov. 11

Endless dragons to fight

and an endless world to ex-

plore.

“Ultimate Marvel Vs.

Capcom 3” (Multi-Platform)

- Nov. 15

Capcom is making you

buy a barely different ver-

sion of one of their games,

again.

“Saints Row: The Third”

(Multi-Platform) - Nov. 15

Easily the most over-the-

top game I've seen in a long

while, and quite enjoyable

by the sound of it.

“Assassin's Creed: Revela-

tions” (Multi-Platform) -

Nov. 15

The final chapter in the

saga of Ezio Auditore da

Firenze.

“The Legend of Zelda:

Skyward Sword” (Wii) -

Nov. 20

This is a Zelda game:

You're going to buy it just

like everyone else.

One has to wonder if some

of these lesser-known titles

wouldn't be better served by

a summer release. Tradition-

ally, the summer remains a

dry period for new video

game releases and I, for one,

would appreciate some of

these titles to be spread out.

Not to mention the fact that

a lot of these games might be

buried under their bigger

named brethren.

The fall games season is al-

ways jam-packed full of new

content. This year seems to

hold one of the most promis-

ing arrangements of new

content in recent memory.

This November will no

doubt be a heavy drain on

funds and time. Regardless,

there will certainly be a lot

of fun to be had next month.

Noted comedian Jo Koy

graced the stage and kept

the audience in stitches at

the Fargo Theatre Oct. 12.

Koy, a Tacoma, Wash. na-

tive, now resides in Los An-

geles, where he is a regular

on “Chelsea Lately.” Koy’s

other accomplishments as a

comedian include making

appearances on “The

Tonight Show with Jay

Leno,” “Jimmy Kimmel

Live” and many others.

Although known best as a

TV personality, Koy is often

booked throughout the

country on several college-

comedy tours during the

year.

Starting off the show

Wednesday night, Koy

poked fun at Fargo, specifi-

cally North Dakota, saying,

“You know you’ve made it

when you’re in North

Dakota.” However, after

hearing the audience laugh

at his jokes, he later went on

to laugh and say, “This is the

coolest … town. I wasn’t ex-

pecting this.”

Throughout the show Koy

bantered with the audience,

which gave his humor an off-

the-cuff feel and made it

clear that the comedian loves

what he does.

Koy’s material ranged

from advice from his Fil-

ipino-mother to dealing with

tornadoes on the road and

stories about his eight-year-

old son.

Tornadoes were a hot topic

of Koy’s show, when he

began speaking about hear-

ing his first tornado sirens in

a recent trip to Louisville,

Ky. During his account of his

first tornado experience,

Koy went on to ask the audi-

ence if tornados happen in

North Dakota, and looked a

little perplexed when the an-

swer from those in the crowd

was a strong yes. With tor-

nados being a regular occur-

rence, the crowd got a kick

out of the star’s reaction.

The entirety of Koy’s act

was laughable, however the

material he used about his

son, was by far one of the

more funny parts of his act.

It added a more personal

touch, and from this, Koy

gained a friend-like quality.

Although the show had a

family element, it was defi-

nitely not family friendly.

Like most of Koy’s “Chelsea

Lately” co-stars, his act was

anything but clean.

If you enjoy a good beer

and a burger as much as I

do, you have to stop at JL

Beers. They have a few loca-

tions around the area, the

closest to campus being the

downtown location off

Broadway and First Avenue.

They boast great burgers

and a huge selection of dif-

ferent brews. The bar itself is

small but has a very efficient

use of space. They joke that

they have seating for 1,000,

but only 24 at a time. The

size of the bar can be a bit of

a problem at times, making

it hard to be seated during

busy meal times. The service

is usually great, and the

waiter I had was very help-

ful and knowledgeable when

helping my friends and I

find a beer on the menu that

fit our different taste styles.

Chris Hahn, a senior, said

about his first time at JL, “I

liked it a lot. They had a

great selection of beer, and

the burgers were really

good.”

JL Beers has a wide vari-

ety of different burgers -- all

tasting amazing. It is hard to

pick a favorite, but if I had

to, the JL burger would rank

on top with the BLT blu

close behind. The JL burger

is two patties with grilled

onions and special sauce,

while the BLT blu has bacon,

lettuce, tomato and bleu

cheese all on top of a deli-

cious beef patty. Another in-

teresting burger they have is

the humpty dumpty burger,

which is served with a fried

egg on top of the patty. The

burgers are very reasonably

priced for the quality you get

with your meal. Along with

the burgers comes fresh cut

potato chips, but if you want,

you can replace those with

fries, which I would defi-

nitely recommend. The

Cajun fries are good, but

they also have barbecue fries

and sea salt fries.

JL Beers is a favorite

lunchtime place of Michael

Schenfisch, a senior major-

ing in business. “JL Beers is

a great place to go if you like

great burgers and fantastic

beer. They have a wide vari-

ety of beers that won't disap-

point,” he explained.

Since JL Beers is a bar,

you have to be of drinking

age to eat there. But for

those of us that are of age,

next time you are craving a

burger and beer, go down-

town and check out JL

Beers; you will not be disap-

pointed.

Singer/Songwriter Zach

Deputy made a quick stop in

Fargo Saturday night, long

enough for a performance at

The Aquarium. The stop was

part of a non-stop schedule

to promote his latest album,

“Another Day,” a soulful

collection of ballads inspired

by his own experiences.

“‘Another Day’ is a group

of songs that are pictures of

my life over the past few

years. It’s very personal and

a great album all around,”

Deputy explained.

Deputy’s style of music

can be described as soul,

with touches of rhythm and

blues woven in for good

measure. His songs borrow

elements from memorable

artists like Ray Charles, Al

Green and Stevie Wonder.

That’s not definitive of all

his music though, as some

singles off “Another Day”

draw similarities from

James Taylor tunes.

“It’s influenced by all the

stuff I love; I have a very in-

teresting music taste,”

Deputy said about his

unique sound. “It’s pretty

much dance music for the

soul; it goes a little deeper

than the skin,” he continued.

Deputy described his en-

trance into a music career as

something simply bound to

happen.

“It was one of those things

I felt was inevitable,” he re-

marked. “I’ve always been

fascinated by the guitar, and

I’ve been singing since I can

remember. Music has just

been a part of me since the

beginning,” Deputy noted.

These days, Deputy claims

to be able to play anything

with strings, as well as drum

kits, the piano, harmonic,

and in his own words, “Any-

thing that makes noise.” Ad-

ditionally, Deputy employs

live looping during his live

performances, creating his

own background noises

when performing solo on the

road. It’s all part of an act

that he believes has much

more heart than what you

might heart on the radio.

“There is some alright

music these days, but it does-

n’t feel like it has much

soul,” Deputy argued.

“Today people write songs

about what they think peo-

ple will like. They don’t

write what they actually be-

lieve in. Soul comes from

being honest, from fighting

for something. You can tell

when it’s real, and that’s

something music is lacking,”

he embellished, adding that

the industry seems more

concerned with what will

sell.

“Another Day” was re-

leased Sept. 27, and is avail-

able both in stores and

online. More information

can be found online at

Features

The lower level of the Me-

morial Union resembled the

scene of an assembly factory

Friday night. No, of course

students were not assem-

bling real cars or houses; in-

stead, students were given

the opportunity to design

things with Legos.

Tabitha Bahl, a junior ma-

joring in hospitality and

tour management, gave the

synopsis of the event.

“Lego Night is a contest

where students build Lego

structures based on the cat-

egory,” she said. “The main

thing is that students learn

how to work on a team and

have fun.”

Lego Night was a team-

based event that was hosted

by Campus Attractions. The

event consisted of many

rounds of Lego building,

each round lasting 15 min-

utes.

In those 15 minutes, each

team had to assemble the

best Lego model according

to the current category. At

the end of each round, stu-

dents were graded, but the

grading process was uncon-

ventional. Whichever team

received the loudest ap-

plause from their peers won

the round.

One team weighed in on

their experience with the

event.

Jesse Weiand, a senior and

a computer science major,

was a member of the run-

ner-up team after the first

round.

“I absolutely love Legos. I

am all about building Lego

models and things of that

nature,” Weiand said. “This

event really helped show off

my creative side in a well-

presented manner.”

An observer of Lego night

could only recognize that

NDSU has some very cre-

ative individuals. Some of

the models the teams came

up with were brilliant, in-

cluding a helicopter with

propellers.

Lego night took place in

the lower level of the Memo-

rial Union and lasted until

1:30 a.m. The event was

truly not only a contest be-

tween students and their

teams, but also a way in

which students could have a

good time and meet new

people in the process.

Dear AlysiaMy roommate has her boyfriend over 24/7. He’s a nice guy and

everything, but I just think it’s unfair that he practically lives withus, and yet he doesn’t pay rent or anything. I also get really un-comfortable with him spending the night because I usually hearthings that I really don’t want to hear. I’ve tried talking with herabout it before, but she just kind of blew it off. What should I do?

Dear Cramped Space Roomie,

You definitely shouldn’t have to put up with this type of thing, especially since it’s your

own apartment. But you have to keep in mind that it is her apartment as well. This is a

hard situation because you both have a right to do what you want since you’re both paying

to live there.

The best thing to do in this situation is to approach the situation from a non-defensive

standpoint. Try to talk to her when it’s just you two, and when you both are feeling calm.

Tell her your concerns in a non-judgmental way and let her know that it is nothing against

her or her boyfriend. If she thinks that you are judging her or don’t like her boyfriend,

that will probably make her more upset. Make sure she knows you aren’t saying that she

absolutely can’t be doing this but that you just want to make a compromise. Saying that

you miss having girl nights or just hanging out together during the day could help her see

that you don’t have a problem with him but just that you miss her.

When you do tell her about him sleeping over, just try to say that you don’t mind if he

does sleep over, but that you just don’t want to hear what they’re doing in the other room.

It’s uncomfortable for everybody. She should understand your view if you keep the atmos-

phere calm and keep your stance neutral.

If she still doesn’t change, then perhaps bring in another mutual friend to help mediate

between you two. Sometimes hearing the same thing but from another person can change

things. Just be patient and try to communicate in a peaceful way.

Sincerely,

Alysia

As a native to the Fargo

area, O’Day became very fa-

miliar with the downtown

scene. It only made sense for

her to start her own busi-

ness, when most of her fam-

ily members set the trend of

starting their own busi-

nesses.

“It’s always something I

wanted to do, and it’s in my

blood,” O’Day shared. Some

of O’Day’s family members

who have started their own

businesses include her great-

grandpa, grandpa, dad,

mom, grandma and aunt.

When O’Day began

searching for a location of

her business, downtown

seemed like the perfect fit

for vision of her store.

“I love downtown … I re-

ally enjoy the downtown

community, the people who

live here and work here,”

O’Day said. “There are

other business owners who

are really supportive of each

other.”

This support from other

downtown business owners

became extremely evident as

she began sorting out the de-

tails of opening her own

store.

“Taking risks was the most

challenging part,” she said.

“When I was starting out,

there were a few downtown

business owners that showed

me the ropes and helped me

out; showed me where to go,

what to do and how to do it,

so that was great.”

For students reading this

who may be interested in

starting a successful busi-

ness, this young entrepre-

neur has a few words of

advice for you: “I suggest

that young people really re-

search the industry and the

market,” O’Day said. “You

could have a great idea but

it’s not going to work out if

there’s not a market for it.”

Proper and Prim will be

celebrating its one-year an-

niversary on Oct. 20 by al-

lowing customers to come in

Tom Venuto, author of the

books “Foods That Turn to

Fat” and “Foods That Burn

Fat,” states, “Burning stom-

ach fat is more about your

diet than traditional ab exer-

cises.” Venuto gives readers

insight into fat-burning tips,

including eating natural

foods with few calories and

focusing on intensity while

exercising.

Venuto reinforces that sim-

ply going cruncher-crazy is

not an effective way to lose

stomach fat. Your workouts

should be high intensity,

with short rest periods. This

will significantly increase

your metabolism, helping

you burn fat more quickly.

However, www.burnstom-

achfat.net stresses that you

should “incorporate high-in-

tensity exercises (with more

reps and lighter weights)

into your workout four times

a week in order to give your

muscles a chance to recover

and grow before you break

them down again with more

workouts.”

Aerobic activities are im-

portant to combine with the

high-intensity exercises as

well. These activities include

walking, jogging, cycling or

swimming. They should be

done for 30 minutes, three to

four times a week. Also, in-

volve regular cardio sessions

into your weekly routine,

such as joining a class at

your gym to help you burn

fat and keep you on a regu-

lar routine.

Nutrition is also an ex-

tremely important fat-burn-

ing tool. Eating frequently is

not the key. Only eat until

you are full, which will re-

quire eating substantial

foods with low calories. Here

are a few tips from

www.lose-stomachfat.org:

Foods rich in fiber.

Apples, peas, cereals and

nuts are several examples of

substantial foods. They will

help keep you full for longer

periods of time, and the fiber

in them will help burn fat

around your middle.

Drink plenty of water.

At least eight glasses every

day helps to remove toxins

from your body, and lose

weight faster as a result.

Eat smaller portions.

Using cups, bowls and

plates that are smaller in size

will help you take less food

at a time and, therefore, eat

less food during the meal.

Increase your metabolism.

Eggs, whole-wheat bread

and oatmeal for breakfast

will help increase your me-

tabolism by giving your

body essential sources of vi-

tamin B12 and carbohy-

drates. Other dairy products

also contain this vitamin,

and whole grain products

will assist in making you feel

full longer.

Go with high protein and

fiber foods.

High-protein foods, such

as peas, beans, eggs, lean

meats (chicken and fish) and

peanuts take more energy

for your body to process.

Your body burns fat while

breaking down the protein.

Eat soups, salads, citrus

fruits and berries for dinner

or a bedtime snack. These

foods are rich in fiber and

have vitamin C, which helps

dilute fats found in the stom-

ach area.

Remember not to load the

fatty dressing onto your

salad. Quick tip: Put the

salad dressing on the side,

and dip rather than drench.

Consume less junk food.

Items such as chips, cakes,

cookies, candy and so on will

turn right into belly fat once

they are ingested.

Instead eat yogurt, avoca-

dos and almonds are other

foods to contribute to your

healthy diet for losing stom-

ach fat.

As you can see, there are

many different ways in

which you can lose stomach

fat. It is important to bal-

ance diet and exercise, along

with getting an adequate

amount of sleep.

The most difficult part is

getting your weekly exercise

routine started, but once you

have tackled the scheduling

portion, it’s goodbye belly,

hello healthy!

In an age of transparency

and efficiency, it is a miracle

that student organizations

on campus are even present

on campus. With 13 hoops to

jump through, three tiers of

classification, a five-point

ranking system and a 27-

page handbook accompany-

ing a 13-page list of

guidelines, the fact that stu-

dent organizations flourish

is testament to an undeni-

able and unrelenting will to

exist and represent.

The way the Congress of

Student Organizations oper-

ates is a result of persistent

swapping of interim execu-

tive commissioners. With

tweaks here and there to suit

the wants and visions of each

administration, a snowball

of bureaucracy has devel-

oped.

Lest the CSO should for-

get that its purpose is to

"provide quality resources

and information pertinent to

the sustainability of all cam-

pus student organizations,"

I urge them to remember

that they are here to serve

us, not vice versa.

To do this, they should

consider making mandatory

only the tasks and paper-

work necessary to keep

track of organizational in-

formation. Everything else

should be voluntary; give

student leaders a chance to

lead.

If an organization feels

that philanthropic commu-

nity efforts are aligned with


Humanity has culminated

to the point where hundreds

of millions prosper and live

happily. We have opportu-

nity, especially in America,

but also around the globe;

we may travel, learn, love

and prosper freely. We may

be as we wish with liberty

and we may prevail upon the

seemingly insurmountable.

This is referred to as free en-

terprise, or perhaps the pur-

suit of happiness.

So long as we adhere to

our societal norms under

various laws and fight from

the depths of any given soci-

ety, only then may we pros-

per; we may find this

happiness, meaning and

purpose all within the infi-

nite realms of freedom.

Throughout America’s

history, an infrastructure

was built and new ideas gave

way for development on all

spectrums. This infrastruc-

ture was designed and

funded by few but built with

hands of many. A frontier

was developed into a nation,

even at the cost of lives

around the globe and suffer-

ing of its citizens, not to men-

tion the many who stood in

the way.

From the beginning,

minds came together and fa-

cilitated massive growth for

the nation, but these minds

were few and this was con-

tingent upon the hands of

many. This is all seemingly

well and good, omitting

death and suffering. How-

ever, America was estab-

lished on freedom for many.

But if America has already

built its infrastructure,

shouldn’t we have made a

progressively over-lapping

change to a people and sys-

tem more balanced?

That is to say, a switch

from the minds of the few to

the minds of the many, the

funding of the few to the

funding of the many, and the

new ideas of the few to the

new ideas of the many, so

that all may continue to

shape and facilitate perpet-

ual progression for a society

– of a free people – to ensure

even more opportunity for

future generations?

In 2007, the top one per-

cent of Americans owned 40

percent of the nation’s

wealth. The same one per-

cent took home 24 percent of

the nation’s income, held

above 50 percent of the na-

tion’s stocks, bonds, and mu-

tual funds, only to account

for five percent of the na-

tion’s debt.

These Americans were

doing better than ever previ-

ously so. Moreover, the bot-

tom 80 percent owned a

mere seven percent of the

nation’s wealth and inequal-

ity is growing.

What’s more is we have

fallen behind relative to the

world in science, reading

and math, and are consid-

ered average in our educa-

tion. I find this ghastly

because we all know the al-

ternative to hard working

citizens, and the alternative

explanation for a system

whose practices and policies

put education above all else.

As opposed to making pos-

itive strides, which is re-

quired when you consider

the world’s technological ad-

vancement, we’ve literally

taken steps back.

Americans were once de-

prived of the freedom we

enjoy today, whether they

were women denied of their

right to vote amid the domi-

nantly patriarchal system,

blacks among the Jim Crow

traditions of the South, vet-

erans from the war or per-

haps citizens that

experienced immense

poverty and whose struggles

never prevailed a system

that didn’t account for

greed, prejudice and finan-

cial disparity.

However, new ideas of

freedom emerged. Citizens

stood up to proclaim their

rights. For example, Presi-

dent Roosevelt leading a

country subsequent to the

Great Depression or Martin

Luther King Jr. leading a

people with a peaceful voice

for freedom.

Only then were the rich

men and women in state and

federal offices silenced to let

the people, who make this

country possible, stand with

the triumphant voice of

many to shout liberty.

We have a new imbalance

of values concerning time,

wealth and people. When

wealth, whether material or

fiat currency, outweighs

time and people, you have

counter-revolution.

We are bonded by chains

of desire for wealth and self-

satisfying practices, which

further bind us like everlast-

ing paste to our financially

based standards of living, as

opposed to the people-ori-

ented freedom many before

us fought and died for, and

continually renewed, and

preserved.

I believe freedom is within

us. We are free from our first

breaths. And it is for us, not

as individuals but as many,

to ensure the freedom of all

others whilst freeing our-

selves. Otherwise we forget

the many that suffered, sac-

rificed and devoted their

time for themselves and all

people, no matter the origin

or creed.

We can never be free if we

are in a system whose poli-

cies, promotions and leaders

politically and economically

maintain the imbalance of

wealth before people, and

wealth before time itself.

But if our sense of freedom

stretches no further than the

seemingly intrinsic value to

seek comfort and wealth

ourselves, we may never be

free anyway.

Josh is a junior majoring inhistory.I was recently on a seven-

hour drive home and de-

cided to take seriously the

new, hit music simply by lis-

tening and analyzing it.

I started my trip on Y94

then eventually tuned into

South Dakota as well as

Iowa hit music stations.

What I discovered didn’t

surprise me: Some of the

songs I shut off due to bla-

tant immoral content, others

I laughed at with tears of

disgust running down my

face, and others I did the

shoulder dance with.

At the end of the trip, after

many hours spent with Ma-

roon 5, Rihanna, Lady

Gaga, and LMFAO, I began

to wonder: What happened

to the soul? This is really my

only thought worth expand-

ing on. I could rip that music

apart in other ways, but I

honestly only care to know

what happened to the soul.

The constant theme in

popular music from the ‘20s

to the millennium was tran-

scendence. Popular songs

back then, even if they were

about sex and drinking, had

a spiritual quality to them.

In fact, I think the only

way any musician could get

that pumped about a cele-

bration is from divine help.

Another example is Jeffer-

son Starship’s “We Built

This City.” When I hear that

song I feel like I am floating..


I doubt that the moment

The Forum hired former

local TV anchor Michele

Turnberg as a weekly Sun-

day columnist that she

would begin hypnotizing

those around her.

It’s probably because

Turnberg’s columns about

her glory days working at

the local TV news stations,

running marathons, dealing

with bullies, Sarah Palin and

poor sportsmanship at col-

lege sporting events are re-

ally beginning to cut deep

for not only her readers, but

also the big wigs at The

Forum.

On Saturday night, Bill

Marcil Jr., the publisher of

The Forum, posted a short

message on Inforum.com

mentioning they are no

longer allowing readers to

post anonymous comments

on their website. Instead, in-

dividuals wanting to post a

comment about their

thoughts on a story must in-

clude their names and ad-

dresses before it can be seen.

“As publisher of this news-

paper, I can no longer justify

giving a platform to vultures

who comment on our con-

tent,” Marcil wrote.

But all this seems rather

familiar. Didn’t Turnberg

say basically the same thing

a few months ago? “That

said, if you choose to be neg-

ative, sign you name,” Turn-

berg said earlier this August

in The Forum.

Yes, yes she did.

It seems lately that Turn-

berg’s columns are begin-

ning to come true little by

little and are deeply affect-

ing people like Marcil.

The “vultures” analogy

Marcil used was quite clever,

but people have been using a

pseudonym to state their

opinions and ideas for hun-

dreds of years in our coun-

try.

Take Benjamin Franklin,

for instance; he used the

fake names Silence Dogood

and Richard Saunders when

he didn’t want to reveal his

real name when writing

about his opinions.

“We have had people tell

us they do not want to be in

the newspaper because of

anonymous comments on

news stories and other fea-

tures in the newspaper,”

Marcil said.

These “people” that The

Forum is interested in fea-

turing in their paper need to

invest in a backbone or

thicker skin, although I’m

not sure if those things are

on sale at the moment.

Any major news corpora-

tion should allow its readers

the chance to speak their

minds. Of course, there will

be a few ignorant comments

left, but there will always be

a few ignorant people. But,

maybe the next Benjamin

Franklin needs to get a few

things off his chest.

Oh, I almost forgot: My

name is Jaime Jarmin and I

live in Moorhead, Minn.

With only seven matchesremaining on the SummitLeague schedule, the Bisonvolleyball team find them-selves one game out of firstplace, making every match abig match.

NDSU traveled to Indi-anapolis and Macomb, Ill.for Summit League matchesagainst IUPUI and WesternIllinois.

IUPUI, fourth in the Sum-mit League standings,

hosted the Bison last Friday,and NDSU was able to takedown the Leathernecks infour sets, 3-1.

The Bison had four offen-sive players with double-digit kills on the night, asMegan Lambertson led theway with 14 kills and 15 totalpoints. Brynn Joki backedLambertson up with anothersolid performance as shehad 12 kills; Janna Deyleand Carissa Whalen chippedin with 11 and 10 kills, re-spectively. Jennifer Lopezhad 50 assists on the match.

NDSU traveled to Ma-comb on Saturday for theirfinal match of the weekendto take on the Leathernecksof Western Illinois, ninth inthe Summit standings. TheHerd took care of business ina hurry as they swept WIU3-0.

Lambertson led the Bisonin kills once again with 13;Carissa Whalen had her sec-ond straight match withdouble-digit kills with 12.Chrissy Knuth was at thenet for nine kills and added14 digs on the night as well.

The Bison defense was at thenet on defense as well; theytotaled 10 blocks on thematch and held the Leather-necks offense in tact as noopponent had double-digitkills.

The Herd battled withnon-conference opponentNorthern Iowa on Monday,however, this issue of TheSpectrum went to press be-fore the match ended.

The Bison find themselvesranking near the top in mostoffensive categories in theSummit League. As a team,NDSU ranks first in hittingpercentage, assists, kills andaces. Megan Lambertsonleads the Summit League inhitting percentage and Jen-nifer Lopez ranks second inassists per set with 10.62.

The Bison will returnhome to Fargo this weekendfor a four-match homestand. NDSU will battleIPFW and Oakland thisweekend. The Bison, 16-7 (9-2 Summit), are in secondplace in the conferencestandings, behind OralRoberts, 16-4 (9-1 Summit.)

The Bison football teambounced back from an early14-10 deficit with a sterlingperformance from quarter-back Brock Jensen to over-come Missouri ValleyFootball Conference foeMissouri State 51-21 on Sat-urday.

In what may have been hisbest game yet in his thirdyear as a Bison, Jensen deliv-ered a near-perfect passingattack that kept the Bears'defense on their heels allnight, connecting on 19-23passing for 211 yards andthree touchdowns. Jensenstarted the game a perfect15-15 through the first half,breaking Steve Walker’sschool record for consecu-tive pass completions alongthe way.

“We were up 10 at half-time and we had to makethat lead bigger,” Jensensaid of his record-breakingperformance. “I was notconcerned with statistics.”

The Bison offense was ableto bounce back after a pairof games against stingy 3-4defenses, registering 428yards of total offense thatfed off a rushing game thatfinally had success. After lastweek's 60 yards on theground, the Bison stormedback for 212 yards rushingas the team averaged justover five yards on theground.

That success allowed thepassing game to flourish,and Jensen connected ontwo big touchdown passes toreceiver Warren Hollowaythat helped open the score to24-14 at halftime.

“It was play action, therunning game got it going,”Holloway said. “The defen-sive backs kept peeking inthe backfield. We just kepttrying to make plays. Lastweek everyone on offensewas looking at everyone elseto make a play. This week wetalked about everyone mak-ing their play.”

Though the defense didstruggle early, allowing the

Bears to score once in eachof the first three quarters,they were still able to createthree turnovers that leftNDSU plus-11 in takeaways/giveaways on the year.

“Anytime you can turn thefield over and give the ballback to the offense in atimely fashion it’s great,”senior defensive end CoulterBoyer said, who had a pairof fumble recoveries on thenight. “We do a great job,and coach (Scottie) Hazletonin practice of stressing theimportance of turnovers. Wealso try and strip the balland pursue the ball becauseyou never know what is

going to happen. Tonight weexecuted that and ran to theball and had our chances.”

Corner Marcus Williamshad another superb night ashe kicked off a sequence inthe second half that saw theBison score 17 straightpoints without MissouriState able to complete a sin-gle play. Williams ran back90 yards on the openingkickoff for the second halffor a touchdown that electri-fied a packed Fargodome of18,027, and the Bison forcedfumbles on Missouri State'snext two possessions to cashin on a field goal and an-other touchdown. Williams

also played a big role in passcoverage as leading Bearsreceiver Jermaine Saffold,averaging 84 yards per gamereceiving into Saturday'sgame, was held to just 37yards on three catches.

After the game, HeadCoach Craig Bohl was com-plimentary of his team's ex-ecution. “That was a hardfought win; it was numbersix,” the ninth-year headcoach said. “Each one ofthese wins are so critical inthe Valley, and we arepleased with the win andhow we got it.”

Who’s the best receiver inNDSU history? The questioncan be kicked around for alittle while, but most of thetime the answer ends up atKole Heckendorf each timeit’s brought up. As I sat inMcDonald’s after the gamewith my brother on Satur-day, we pondered whether ornot there’s another receiverwho may take that title.

With Zach Vraa andTrevor Gebhart out, BrockJensen has limited targets hecan throw to, or so someonewould think. We all knowthat Warren Holloway isJensen’s favorite target andfor good reason, Hollowayjust surpassed 1,600 yardsreceiving on his career andgrabbed his 11th touchdownpass.

What sticks out to me themost are the things that Hol-loway does away from theball. Throughout the season,and Saturday especially, theoffense has ran a lot of quickpasses to Ryan Smith in theflats. All but once that playwent for at least five yardson Saturday, mainly becauseWarren Holloway had hisdefender locked up in agreat block. On one occasionhe pancaked his defender; Idon’t think it showed up onthe stat sheet though.

Holloway had six catchesfor 109 yards and two touch-downs. Jensen was on targetall night, going 15-15 in thefirst half and finding Hol-loway often, but what im-pressed me the most aboutHolloway is his route-run-ning.

Both touchdowns werebrilliant plays by Warren.On both occasions I had myeyes locked on Holloway theentire time, and he gave nosign of which way he wasgoing on his route.

Is it possible to crown Hol-loway or Heckendorf as thehands-down best receiver inschool history? No. Hol-loway is now sixth on the all-time yardage leader list forreceivers, as he just sur-passed Stacy Robinson.Warren is also currentlyfifth on the all-time recep-tions leader list.

Heckendorf is the leader ofboth of those lists, but theamount of playing time com-pared between the two re-ceivers is significant.Heckendorf caught 37 ballsfor 470 yards his freshmanseason. In Holloway’s fresh-man year, he caught twopasses for 17 yards, possiblybecause Kole Heckendorfwas a senior that same sea-son.

Heckendorf also had SteveWalker throwing to him forthree seasons. Holloway nowhas what could be, the bestthing since Steve Walkerthrowing to him in BrockJensen, but had Jose Mohlerand Nick Mertens throwingto him for a good chunk ofhis career.

All comparisons aside,Heckendorf and Hollowayare two great receivers, but Iwouldn’t be surprised at allif Holloway has some looksfrom teams who play onSundays after this season isover.

And finally, I can take you

way back to Mr. Sinatra. He

knew soul like the back of

his hand.

Now in the current times, I

know Adele is trying, and I

give her props. She has a

spirit in her music that is re-

freshing, but surrounding

her is a mess of physiological

obsessed songs.

Her music is about beat --

beat that makes the listener

ever aware of satisfying their

flesh. Even when Adele tries

for soul, a definite main-

stream influence is present

in her song “Rolling In The

Deep,” and the strong beat is

the primary attraction of the

song.

Here are some more exam-

ples: “Cheers to the freakin’

weekend” says the super

bored sounding Rihanna; or

“Party rockers in da house

tonight;” says LMFAO. It

doesn’t even seem like they

tried to make themselves

sound like musicians.

It really looks like music is

more about our bodies and

less about the musician’s ca-

pacity to be a musician, and

less about internal feelings

and more about external.

Physical fun is paramount.

As our modern society

loses awareness of transcen-

dent power, it only makes

sense that music and media

follow suit. Entertainment

forgets to keep us aware of

our hearts and souls; it for-

gets that we are dualistic in

nature. In other words, we

have a body and soul.

Now, I don’t mind honor-

ing Ke$ha’s command to

“dance” on occasion, but I

think society is in need of

some soul-wrenching blues

and power ballads, songs

that make us cry in super-

natural joy. I am sick of get-

ting played to the beat.

university guidelines, and

make them turn in informa-

tional paperwork at the be-

ginning of the year. Offer

them resources along the

way, but unless they ask for

help or step out of line, let

them be.

It's nice to feel active and

needed, but making organi-

zations jump through hoops

so that you feel so just sets

up a facade, behind which

frustration is masked.

Policy and bureaucracy is

a wonderful thing if you're

afraid of unlocked potential.

Unlocked potential, how-

ever, is a wonderful thing if

you want to see diversity and

aspiration abound.

Executive members of the

CSO: You are leaders bur-

dened with a balance of tra-

dition and progressive

change. Are these 13 hoops,

these unnecessarily confus-

ing structures and these

handholding expectations

representative of the way

you truly want to run

things?

Soccer

The NDSU women’s soc-

cer team added to their win

streak after picking up victo-

ries against IPFW and Oak-

land last weekend. The

Bison have now won six in a

row, a stretch that has

helped them stay on top of

the Summit League stand-

ings with their perfect league

record.

The Bison recorded their

fourth straight shutout on

Friday when they took down

IPFW 3-0. Michelle

Gaffaney and Katie Tallas

both scored first half goals to

help the team get off to a fast

start, and Jaclyn Scanlan

scored a late goal for the

Bison to secure the victory.

Kalani Bertsch and Kathy

Kelsey helped the team

record its ninth shutout of

the year.

Ten seniors were honored

before the match on Sunday,

when the Bison hosted Oak-

land for the final home game

of the year. Morgan Demike

scored the lone goal during

the match to lead the Bison

to a 1-0 lead, giving the team

yet another shutout on the

year, the fifth in a row. The

shutout was made possible

by another great perform-

ance by goalkeeper Kalani

Bertsch, who recorded eight

saves on the day.

NDSU has only three

games remaining on their

schedule before the Summit

League Championship starts

in early November. The

Bison will be on the road to

face UMKC and South

Dakota next weekend, and

will finish the season with a

game in Brookings, S.D. to

face SDSU Oct. 29. UMKC

is currently tied with NDSU

for first place in the Summit

League.

The Bison Men’s Cross

Cross Country – Women’s

The women’s cross coun-

try team also competed in

the Tim Young Invitational

last weekend. Sophomore

Heidi Peterson finished first

to lead the Bison to the team

title in the event. Peterson’s

performance was good

enough for her second title

of the season, and was joined

by four other Bison finishers

in the top 10.

Sophomore Maddie Mc-

Clellan finished second, sen-

ior Jordan Krahn took fifth,

junior Faith Kruchowski

took sixth and freshman

Abbi Aspengren took 10th in
